THE CHILD'S NttUIET. Ctrl Schurz sat down one evening late To reat hla weary head. When his littte son came Into theroom, Aud looking at.hlm said: * " Who la this Horace Greeley, pa, That people call so wise? Is ho aome giant Ull enough To reach nnto the Bkles? " Oh, no, my child, about as large As I or Oovernor Brown; 'Twas not his stature made him great. Or won him bis renown.

A lUEBOW ESCAPE. For a while afler lbe close of lbe war, my oflide wna just opposite Capt. H 's, anil it was with great pleas¬ ure that I used to go over to the c^p- taiu's, after business hours, untl listen to his " war yarns," as be calletl them.. He aeltlom spoke of himself, but tbe followiug he told me of liis own per¬ soual experience, which I give iu His own words; During the war I tlid considerable duty as a spy, and on one occasion I came near losing my life. Just after one of our fierce battles, particular icformation was neded con¬ cerning the conditiou of lhe rebel troops quartered in our section. I was fully aware of tbe risk I incurred, nor waa I ignorant of the fate awaiting rae if I was suspected aud taken. 1 had reconnoitered pretty thoroughly.gained al-'out ajl the information necessary, ^liij'wijs begiuniug to Ihjuk of return¬ ing, wbeu the followiug inaideut de¬ cided Hje. While walkinir aloug, musing upon the exciting events which were tben transpiring, I was met by a rebel pri¬ vate. "Helloo, old boy! you're going the wrong way," cried the fellow in an animatad toue of voice. " I guesa uot," I replied carelessly. " Well, I 'spose you know best, but you'd better go back with me to the camp. I'm going to get a description of the chap tbat's beeh playing tbe spy," added thejfellow, familiarly. "What about him? It's all news to me," I replied -with as .little outward appearance oE concern as possible, though my pulse beat a little quicker tliau usual at the man's worda. • "You m'dst be deaf, theu, for every- body is lalking about him to-day," he eonliuued. "His uame is Tom Jones and he's been skulking round here, listeniugto ivh.at theofllcerssay, pump¬ ing the men and trying to flnd out wbat the next move is to be. But they're on his track. There's a bounty on his lieail, anil he's as good as a dead man." ' " Qobtl euough for him !" I exclaim¬ ed, iiiaiotaiuino; tho same indifferent deme.iiiiir. " liis life isn't worth much, thtt'sa fact. But X s.Hy eomratle," I said slapping .him familiarly on the Bl^o'jlder, "Isn't hanging a Iiltle tpo gnfttj for tlie rascal?" The man replied with a coarae laugh and an oath, and then passed his way, leaving me in no enviable state of mind. JJad tbe felltjvv been actjuainted with n)e tieteotion woUl4 have heen cprtain, I When r left the rebel barracks in the njorning, I noticeil nothiqg unusual; b-Jt ii|y abisnc.', a I.l ed toother clrcum- St!^noe.^, a\y.ikened suapiei'in. Not a ipoitjeut was to be lost; my life depen¬ ded upon instant concealment, as flight at that hour (it beiug four in tbe after¬ noou) would, be attended by extreme danger. \V>tlioi|t further 'lelay J entered a thiuk growth of trees near by aud looked about tor somo place uf cuuceal- niont. I could discover nothing bul a Inrge brush heap, butas uo better could be found, I concealed myself beneath H as well as possible. I was none too soon, for iu a short lime I heard tbe tramp of horses' feet and the voices of meu. Without halt¬ ing they pasaed the spot where I lay. I breathed more freely when their shouts were lost In the distance. In my hiding-place time dragged slowly, 'i'he ground wa^ .very'cold and damp from the effects of a recent raiUf whiob did not add much to the pleasantness of my situation. I dared not stir for fear of attracting tho uttention of some person who might be lurkiujj in fto vi¬ cinity, ¦ . ¦ " for severul days I had not felt well, owing to ths effects of the long march I had endured before uudertakiog this buainess, and I felt that I was rapidly becoming worse. Cold chills ran over me, my head was hot and ached badly, and a general languor pervaded' my WliolS syatem. 41.- ¦' ic wiia now evening; the moon shone brightly. What should I do? I feared being seen if I attempted to leave my covert. But if it was dangerous to go \t was etiualiy so to remaiu. For three lioqr^ had I i^in there, beniimbed witb pqld ttnd growing more feeble every foment. .^t this juncture I remembered hav¬ ing seen a sm^ll pabjn ^t 4 short disr tsnpe. I determined to seek it, throw jnysplf qpon the merpy of the inmates nnd ijsk assiatanpe and protection. Pqahlng asi4e the brush caHtioqsly, i»pd glanping from sitle to sitle, X crept Jiurriediy a little waya upoB my hands •Rnt} knees, and tUeu gradually raised wyself to an upright poaltion. This was not aocompilahed without severe effort; my limbs were weak and Pramped, and I could hardly walk for the pain it gave me. My head was eo light and dizzy that It was some min¬ ntes before I could recollect in what direction the caLi;! wasi But at length my senses returned and I moved bIovI; ward, rt III 1/ ;i, light wlilcn BboM from the window, I approached the cabin, but paused at hearing tbe soand of voices. Taking a few more noiseless steps I was enabled to glance tbroagh the rade window. Two men and two women were within. I conid bear their voices plainly from where I stood, and I listened to see if I conid not gain some clue lo the char¬ acter of the inmates. "I am quite confident that we shall aucceed," said one. "The rewaird is worth trying for, anyway," returned the other, " What will be done with him if he should he caught?" asked the younger of the two females. "No matter! lhey won't be likely to let him go again," said the elder man, with a aigniflcantshrugof the souiders. "He'll be treated aa apics usually are, probably," remarked the middle- aged woman whohiid not before spoken. *• The younger shuddered aud looked thoughtful. "I wish there w.is uo such thiug as war; it so brutalizes hu¬ man nature," sbesaid earnestly, after a pause. "Thesoon the Yanks is conquered thequickerlt will be ended." said the youngest man. "So you see its our duty to catch this fellow who ia said to be very cunning and useful in his way. He can't be a gl eat ways off and'th'e sooner we get started after him, the sooner we shall hunt him dowu." The olber gave his hearty assent to tliis proposal, aud after talkiug over their plans togetlier, both men lelt the cabin and passed so near to where I stood, that by raisiug my haud I could have touciied litem. But fortune fa¬ vored me, and tbe darkness which suc¬ ceeded the moon's departure, hid me from their sight. Wailing uutil lhey were out of hear¬ ing, I stepped to Uie cabin door and tapped. The latch was rui.-ed, nnd .t voiee de¬ manded, " Who's there?" "A friend; one, at least, who has not tbe power to barm you," I replied. The door cpeiici! wider, aud the wo¬ man scrutinized me closely. " I am siclt, hungry and sorely pressed by my enemies; lani the spy for whom tbe leward is oHeiiU. I am in distress. You can aave mu urilelieor me into tbe haiidsof your husband, nr I'lose who liave gone in pursuit of me." 'lbe mother and daugbter exchanged glances but neitberspoke, aud auxious¬ ly I awaited lhe decision. The woman wbo opened the door, motioned me to enter. ¦ I did so, and a seat Wits Iilaced for me by lho d.iughter, whose 's\tupathies were obviously en- Ii.-.ted. " We cun give ynu food, but our pro¬ tection will tivail but little after my husband's return," snld the woman. ¦ "Can J'OU not conceal me?" I asked earnestly. " Heaven will surely re¬ ward you." The mother looked at Iter tlauglitcr and they conversed together in a lov/ tone. " We will do what we can." said tbe former, briefly, aa she placed food and tirink before me aud signed me to eat. " Do nol stop f.o talk,'' she .tddedi quickly, as I endeavored to express my gratitude. "Tbere is no lime to lose, and food will do you more good than anything else." I did not wait for a second bidding, and the nutritious beverage soon had the effect to renew my strength and in¬ spire fresh courage. My head felt less ciddy, the cheerful fire warmed my stiffened limbs, aud I would certainly have fallen asleep iu my chair had not a feeliug of dread lest the meu should suddenly return, cauaed me to look often anxiously towards tha window. "They will be gone two houi-.s," said tbe youngest, na if in reassure me on thatpoint. I signified my thanks and looked at the fair speaker so attentively that a crimson glow sloie over her cuunte- nance, muking her look still more in¬ teresting. I forgot for the moment my illness, the danger I had incurred, the risk I now ran, everything in contem¬ plating her symiuelrical figure, regu¬ larity of features, and the benevolent iilndness thttt beamed from h.er elo¬ quent eyes. iMy rapture was of short duration, the barking of a do.i;, aud the exclamation of ray deliverer " Y^ou are lost.'" brought rae to niy senses! " Father must be near, for that is his dog." I started lo my fett and looked hurriedly about for some means of es¬ cape besides the «Joor \Yhieh T entered, 'fhe girl shook her head, aud tbe color fied from her ciieeks by reason of her terror. I remained where I'vi-as, knowing tbat theresult would be equally fatal if I ventured to leave tha cabin. The voices of the men p.ime nearer and nearer, The young girl slond spel.lrbound foran instant, then sprang towarda a lioor which tipened into a closet. " Go in, quick," she whispered, "ami bide yourself behin-i the elothea." I obeyed, and the tloor was qniokly cloaed and fastened upon me, while my deliverpr, witU unconimou self-posses¬ sion (as I afterwartl learur.dj, placed herseiriu the chair I had just vacated, drew up tn the table on wliich food had beeu placed and very ileliberately com¬ menced eating. She had hardly done so when her father and his companion entered tlie cabin, both looking some¬ what ill-humored and disappointetl. " Wbat are yuu up and ealinir for. nt this hour, Nellie?" asked the former, regarding lhe young lady with a look of astonishmeut and displeasure. " Waitiug for you so long matle me hungry," waa tbe unhesitating reply. " Well, and so are we hungry, girl; 80 set na something quick, for we've got to ride a dozeu miles yet; that ia, if tbe fellow tlon't disappoint us again. Confound him I wp nalght have been on theright track by this time if the horses had been round in time," he muttered, as Nellie busied herself in placing food before them. In ibe meantime, tbo mother, who had left the cabin before the men re¬ turned, had entered au ont-bullding, and was preparing a comfortable place in which I could co^nceal myself before her Iiusbauti's return. Before the liien finished eating she returned, but started back in alarm at percleving what a change in attaiia the last twenty mintUes hatl wrought, l^ellie caqght iier pye apd a warning glance recalled her' iisual presence of mind. "Well?" she said,'interrogatively, approaching the table. "We've hijd to wait fnr horses, and tbe rascal will give us the slip if we don't make l^etter time," retqrued her hiiaband moodily. "I aay, nan,"he added, with an im¬ patient gesture, "haven't you most done eating?" ' "Shouldn't wonder," replied Dan, pushing back hia chair and buttoning his coat. "I'm ready." " We'll go, then, aa soon as I get my other hat from the closet." And ap¬ proaching my place lof concealment, tbe speaker stepped in and commenced searchiag for bis bat. I crouched be¬ hind a pile of bedding, trembling lest a sudden movement of the man sboiild [ expose my person. I was certain tliat my heart beat'ldud enoiigh to be heard, and when I felt the clotbes 'move be¬ fore me I gave up all for Itist; ., ' Tiie filrl's etno'tioiis were none the less intense. Her face; became 1 pale, her feet seemed bound to the flbor, and herbeart almost stopped beating as hereye marked each motion of lier. father. As hs approached tbe corner where she knew I was, she placed her hands over her eyes ami sank iuto a chair. But he did not discover me. The hat was found at lenglh, and Nellie raised her eyes. Her father stood with¬ out the closet while hia companion was a.isuring him that if he did not hurry all ivould be lost. "Where is he?" inquired the woman wlieu lhey "rt'ere gone. "In tbero," replied the daughter, pointiug toward the closet. "It is Providence, indeed!" was the exclamaliou of the mother, as she comprehended lhe narrow escape. I lost no time in getting to the out¬ building mentioned. It was an old affair and used but seldom, and being so near the Confederate camp, would not be likely to be subjected to a very thorough search by my pursuers, who believed'me to be much farther off. Iu tills place I.remained several days^ receiving the best of care from both mother and daughter, who visited me as often as they could withoul attract¬ ing observation. Wben my strengtii returned, and I was able to travel, my generous pro¬ tectors furni-shed me with disguises, and dniiug the husband's absence, were en¬ abled (o aE.si=t me considerable on my perilous journey, I encounlereil but few difficulties, however, aud passed the Confederate Hues lu safety. "By [he vray," said the Captaiu, look¬ ing at hia watch, "you must take tea wilh me thia evening. No e.'couses," he continued, as he saw me about lo speak.

Professor Zollner, a foreign savant, in a recent discussion of the erratic boiiies, starts with tbe fact tbatfluids, as water, mercury, and solids of nearly all kinds, give off vapor of low tension, though in too small a quantity to be recognized by any tests with which we are at present acquainted. It therefore fol¬ lows that the masses of matter scattered throughout space are ultimately sur¬ rounded with an atmosphere of their owu vapor. If the volume of such masses is too small lo exert sufllcient atiractive force to retain this vapor, the whoie mass ultimately assumes the vaporous state. ProfessorZollner thinks that many of the small comets are such masses of vapor, while others are fluid, consisting of water or perhaps of liquid hydrocarloa,=',an idea which is forf.i td by the cbaracler of the spectra of cer¬ tain nebulis as well as some of the smaller comets. Eegardliig the self luminosity of co.iielsandthetormallou of their trains, Professor Zollner says, there are about two causes wiiich can produce the" first of these resulls, viz: elevation of tem¬ perature and the electric aciion. Set- tiug the first aside as oeing utterly inadequate nnder the circumstances, tbe author tliinks that the electricity developed by the solar rays, either in tho proceea of evaporation or by the mechanical and molecular disturbances they produce, is amply sufficient to cause the luminoaity and also loform the train. The explanation here given oftbe formation ofthe tails or trains of comets is exceedingly ingenious, for it uot only supplies in thosa instances in which the train is direcled from the sun, acting under the circumstances by repulsion, but It aiso accounts for tbe facts that in some instances the call is directed toward the sun, there being tinder Ihssecircumstanceseleetricftl at traction instead of repulsion.

The price rises with the size of the cylinder and tho finish of the cases.

THE CHILD'S NttUIET.
Ctrl Schurz sat down one evening late
To reat hla weary head. When his littte son came Into theroom,
Aud looking at.hlm said: *
" Who la this Horace Greeley, pa,
That people call so wise?
Is ho aome giant Ull enough
To reach nnto the Bkles?
" Oh, no, my child, about as large
As I or Oovernor Brown; 'Twas not his stature made him great.
Or won him bis renown.
"Bnt he It la who noblyjballed
Jeff Davis from his cell, And.now'we want for President
The man who done so well."
"But, then, papa, was not old JelT
A traitor to the State 7 You nsed to run him down and say
Tbat hanging was his fale."
"And wouldn't Horace Oreeiey, pa,
Ii he were President, Ball ont aud pardon every rogue
WhU was lo prison sent!'
"Oh, no my ohlW, Jeir Davis was
An enemy in war: But he wlio balls a common rogue
His neighbors all abhor."
"Then. pa. i( I sliould steal a homo,
I'd slcftl a hundred more; 1 would be great and.get btilied out.
Like Davis did before?'
"Oh, no, my child; thoGoupcI says
That yon should always do To cvery persou as you wouldl
That they should do lo you.'*
" Eut pa. did Horace Groeley think
Tbat In some futnre day He'd want ball when he should try
His country to betray r'
The Senator could say no more—
So. turning quickly, said: "It'a nine o'clock,my little hoy;
Tis time yoa were Injbed."
A lUEBOW ESCAPE.
For a while afler lbe close of lbe war, my oflide wna just opposite Capt. H 's, anil it was with great pleas¬ ure that I used to go over to the c^p- taiu's, after business hours, untl listen to his " war yarns," as be calletl them.. He aeltlom spoke of himself, but tbe followiug he told me of liis own per¬ soual experience, which I give iu His own words;
During the war I tlid considerable duty as a spy, and on one occasion I came near losing my life.
Just after one of our fierce battles, particular icformation was neded con¬ cerning the conditiou of lhe rebel troops quartered in our section. I was fully aware of tbe risk I incurred, nor waa I ignorant of the fate awaiting rae if I was suspected aud taken. 1 had reconnoitered pretty thoroughly.gained al-'out ajl the information necessary, ^liij'wijs begiuniug to Ihjuk of return¬ ing, wbeu the followiug inaideut de¬ cided Hje.
While walkinir aloug, musing upon the exciting events which were tben transpiring, I was met by a rebel pri¬ vate.
"Helloo, old boy! you're going the wrong way," cried the fellow in an animatad toue of voice. " I guesa uot," I replied carelessly. " Well, I 'spose you know best, but you'd better go back with me to the camp. I'm going to get a description of the chap tbat's beeh playing tbe spy," added thejfellow, familiarly.
"What about him? It's all news to me," I replied -with as .little outward appearance oE concern as possible, though my pulse beat a little quicker tliau usual at the man's worda. •
"You m'dst be deaf, theu, for every- body is lalking about him to-day," he eonliuued. "His uame is Tom Jones and he's been skulking round here, listeniugto ivh.at theofllcerssay, pump¬ ing the men and trying to flnd out wbat the next move is to be. But they're on his track. There's a bounty on his lieail, anil he's as good as a dead man." ' " Qobtl euough for him !" I exclaim¬ ed, iiiaiotaiuino; tho same indifferent deme.iiiiir. " liis life isn't worth much, thtt'sa fact. But X s.Hy eomratle," I said slapping .him familiarly on the Bl^o'jlder, "Isn't hanging a Iiltle tpo gnfttj for tlie rascal?"
The man replied with a coarae laugh and an oath, and then passed his way, leaving me in no enviable state of mind. JJad tbe felltjvv been actjuainted with n)e tieteotion woUl4 have heen cprtain, I When r left the rebel barracks in the njorning, I noticeil nothiqg unusual; b-Jt ii|y abisnc.', a I.l ed toother clrcum- St!^noe.^, a\y.ikened suapiei'in. Not a ipoitjeut was to be lost; my life depen¬ ded upon instant concealment, as flight at that hour (it beiug four in tbe after¬ noou) would, be attended by extreme danger.
\V>tlioi|t further 'lelay J entered a thiuk growth of trees near by aud looked about tor somo place uf cuuceal- niont. I could discover nothing bul a Inrge brush heap, butas uo better could be found, I concealed myself beneath H as well as possible.
I was none too soon, for iu a short lime I heard tbe tramp of horses' feet and the voices of meu. Without halt¬ ing they pasaed the spot where I lay. I breathed more freely when their shouts were lost In the distance. In my hiding-place time dragged slowly, 'i'he ground wa^ .very'cold and damp from the effects of a recent raiUf whiob did not add much to the pleasantness of my situation. I dared not stir for fear of attracting tho uttention of some person who might be lurkiujj in fto vi¬ cinity, ¦ . ¦
" for severul days I had not felt well, owing to ths effects of the long march I had endured before uudertakiog this buainess, and I felt that I was rapidly becoming worse. Cold chills ran over me, my head was hot and ached badly, and a general languor pervaded' my WliolS syatem. 41.- ¦' ic wiia now evening; the moon shone brightly. What should I do? I feared being seen if I attempted to leave my covert. But if it was dangerous to go \t was etiualiy so to remaiu. For three lioqr^ had I i^in there, beniimbed witb pqld ttnd growing more feeble every foment.
.^t this juncture I remembered hav¬ ing seen a sm^ll pabjn ^t 4 short disr tsnpe. I determined to seek it, throw jnysplf qpon the merpy of the inmates nnd ijsk assiatanpe and protection.
Pqahlng asi4e the brush caHtioqsly, i»pd glanping from sitle to sitle, X crept Jiurriediy a little waya upoB my hands •Rnt} knees, and tUeu gradually raised wyself to an upright poaltion. This was not aocompilahed without severe effort; my limbs were weak and Pramped, and I could hardly walk for the pain it gave me. My head was eo light and dizzy that It was some min¬ ntes before I could recollect in what direction the caLi;! wasi But at length my senses returned and I moved bIovI; ward, rt III 1/ ;i, light wlilcn
BboM from the window, I approached the cabin, but paused at hearing tbe soand of voices. Taking a few more noiseless steps I was enabled to glance tbroagh the rade window. Two men and two women were within.
I conid bear their voices plainly from where I stood, and I listened to see if I conid not gain some clue lo the char¬ acter of the inmates.
"I am quite confident that we shall aucceed," said one.
"The rewaird is worth trying for, anyway," returned the other,
" What will be done with him if he should he caught?" asked the younger of the two females.
"No matter! lhey won't be likely to let him go again," said the elder man, with a aigniflcantshrugof the souiders. "He'll be treated aa apics usually are, probably," remarked the middle- aged woman whohiid not before spoken. *• The younger shuddered aud looked thoughtful. "I wish there w.is uo such thiug as war; it so brutalizes hu¬ man nature," sbesaid earnestly, after a pause.
"Thesoon the Yanks is conquered thequickerlt will be ended." said the youngest man. "So you see its our duty to catch this fellow who ia said to be very cunning and useful in his way. He can't be a gl eat ways off and'th'e sooner we get started after him, the sooner we shall hunt him dowu."
The olber gave his hearty assent to tliis proposal, aud after talkiug over their plans togetlier, both men lelt the cabin and passed so near to where I stood, that by raisiug my haud I could have touciied litem. But fortune fa¬ vored me, and tbe darkness which suc¬ ceeded the moon's departure, hid me from their sight.
Wailing uutil lhey were out of hear¬ ing, I stepped to Uie cabin door and tapped.
The latch was rui.-ed, nnd .t voiee de¬ manded, " Who's there?"
"A friend; one, at least, who has not tbe power to barm you," I replied. The door cpeiici! wider, aud the wo¬ man scrutinized me closely.
" I am siclt, hungry and sorely pressed by my enemies; lani the spy for whom tbe leward is oHeiiU. I am in distress. You can aave mu urilelieor me into tbe haiidsof your husband, nr I'lose who liave gone in pursuit of me."
'lbe mother and daugbter exchanged glances but neitberspoke, aud auxious¬ ly I awaited lhe decision.
The woman wbo opened the door, motioned me to enter. ¦ I did so, and a seat Wits Iilaced for me by lho d.iughter, whose 's\tupathies were obviously en- Ii.-.ted.
" We cun give ynu food, but our pro¬ tection will tivail but little after my husband's return," snld the woman. ¦ "Can J'OU not conceal me?" I asked earnestly. " Heaven will surely re¬ ward you."
The mother looked at Iter tlauglitcr and they conversed together in a lov/ tone.
" We will do what we can." said tbe former, briefly, aa she placed food and tirink before me aud signed me to eat. " Do nol stop f.o talk,'' she .tddedi quickly, as I endeavored to express my gratitude. "Tbere is no lime to lose, and food will do you more good than anything else."
I did not wait for a second bidding, and the nutritious beverage soon had the effect to renew my strength and in¬ spire fresh courage. My head felt less ciddy, the cheerful fire warmed my stiffened limbs, aud I would certainly have fallen asleep iu my chair had not a feeliug of dread lest the meu should suddenly return, cauaed me to look often anxiously towards tha window.
"They will be gone two houi-.s," said tbe youngest, na if in reassure me on thatpoint.
I signified my thanks and looked at the fair speaker so attentively that a crimson glow sloie over her cuunte- nance, muking her look still more in¬ teresting. I forgot for the moment my illness, the danger I had incurred, the risk I now ran, everything in contem¬ plating her symiuelrical figure, regu¬ larity of features, and the benevolent iilndness thttt beamed from h.er elo¬ quent eyes. iMy rapture was of short duration, the barking of a do.i;, aud the exclamation of ray deliverer " Y^ou are lost.'" brought rae to niy senses!
" Father must be near, for that is his dog." I started lo my fett and looked hurriedly about for some means of es¬ cape besides the «Joor \Yhieh T entered, 'fhe girl shook her head, aud tbe color fied from her ciieeks by reason of her terror. I remained where I'vi-as, knowing tbat theresult would be equally fatal if I ventured to leave tha cabin.
The voices of the men p.ime nearer and nearer, The young girl slond spel.lrbound foran instant, then sprang towarda a lioor which tipened into a closet.
" Go in, quick," she whispered, "ami bide yourself behin-i the elothea."
I obeyed, and the tloor was qniokly cloaed and fastened upon me, while my deliverpr, witU unconimou self-posses¬ sion (as I afterwartl learur.dj, placed herseiriu the chair I had just vacated, drew up tn the table on wliich food had beeu placed and very ileliberately com¬ menced eating. She had hardly done so when her father and his companion entered tlie cabin, both looking some¬ what ill-humored and disappointetl.
" Wbat are yuu up and ealinir for. nt this hour, Nellie?" asked the former, regarding lhe young lady with a look of astonishmeut and displeasure.
" Waitiug for you so long matle me hungry," waa tbe unhesitating reply. " Well, and so are we hungry, girl; 80 set na something quick, for we've got to ride a dozeu miles yet; that ia, if tbe fellow tlon't disappoint us again. Confound him I wp nalght have been on theright track by this time if the horses had been round in time," he muttered, as Nellie busied herself in placing food before them.
In ibe meantime, tbo mother, who had left the cabin before the men re¬ turned, had entered au ont-bullding, and was preparing a comfortable place in which I could co^nceal myself before her Iiusbauti's return.
Before the liien finished eating she returned, but started back in alarm at percleving what a change in attaiia the last twenty mintUes hatl wrought, l^ellie caqght iier pye apd a warning glance recalled her' iisual presence of mind.
"Well?" she said,'interrogatively, approaching the table.
"We've hijd to wait fnr horses, and tbe rascal will give us the slip if we don't make l^etter time," retqrued her hiiaband moodily.
"I aay, nan,"he added, with an im¬ patient gesture, "haven't you most done eating?"
' "Shouldn't wonder," replied Dan, pushing back hia chair and buttoning his coat. "I'm ready."
" We'll go, then, aa soon as I get my other hat from the closet." And ap¬ proaching my place lof concealment, tbe speaker stepped in and commenced searchiag for bis bat. I crouched be¬ hind a pile of bedding, trembling lest a sudden movement of the man sboiild [ expose my person. I was certain tliat
my heart beat'ldud enoiigh to be heard, and when I felt the clotbes 'move be¬ fore me I gave up all for Itist; ., ' Tiie filrl's etno'tioiis were none the less intense. Her face; became 1 pale, her feet seemed bound to the flbor, and herbeart almost stopped beating as hereye marked each motion of lier. father. As hs approached tbe corner where she knew I was, she placed her hands over her eyes ami sank iuto a chair.
But he did not discover me. The hat was found at lenglh, and Nellie raised her eyes. Her father stood with¬ out the closet while hia companion was a.isuring him that if he did not hurry all ivould be lost.
"Where is he?" inquired the woman wlieu lhey "rt'ere gone.
"In tbero," replied the daughter, pointiug toward the closet.
"It is Providence, indeed!" was the exclamaliou of the mother, as she comprehended lhe narrow escape.
I lost no time in getting to the out¬ building mentioned. It was an old affair and used but seldom, and being so near the Confederate camp, would not be likely to be subjected to a very thorough search by my pursuers, who believed'me to be much farther off.
Iu tills place I.remained several days^ receiving the best of care from both mother and daughter, who visited me as often as they could withoul attract¬ ing observation.
Wben my strengtii returned, and I was able to travel, my generous pro¬ tectors furni-shed me with disguises, and dniiug the husband's absence, were en¬ abled (o aE.si=t me considerable on my perilous journey,
I encounlereil but few difficulties, however, aud passed the Confederate Hues lu safety.
"By [he vray," said the Captaiu, look¬ ing at hia watch, "you must take tea wilh me thia evening. No e.'couses," he continued, as he saw me about lo speak. "I want tointroduceyou to the heroine of my story; she is my wife now."

"It ia their business to is¬ sue summonses under various acts of Parliament, mostly in abatemeut of nuiaancea; to arreat stray dogs; tosuper- vise beer houses aud taverns; to cope wilh the roughs In tbeirown quarters lo attend fires; to Inspect the exterior of houses nightly; to put down 'smoke,' if possible—found to be not possible, be¬ cause bakers are exempted from the provisions ofthe aet—^to flnd loat per¬ sous; to report on horses aud carriages provided for pnblic use; to keep a regis¬ ter of habitual criminals; to receive and restore lost property; to issue orders to 'casuals'; to transport delinquents to prisou, boys and girls to r-jformatories, paupers to -work-bouses, sick people to pospitais; to direct street traffic ;~to re¬ press beggars; tosupervise.pedlers, to billet s61diers7~to-wage'war on fu'rioiia driving and riding: toanswer all kinds of questions from country-.folk, for. eiguers and dunderheads; to act as walking finger-posts, and often to fight for lhelr lives. It would scarcely be .possiple lo name a more varied bus! ucss, or one demanding greater cool¬ ness, probity, temper, and a mixture of sternness and good nature happily not rare. Tbe strangest thing, perhapa is that the duty demanded id actually done, and done well, aud that, in addi¬ tion to illl we havo indicated, the po¬ lice are also drilled, and form a really fine division of infantry." 07per cent, of the London policemen are in hos¬ pital during the year.
In nospherepfeconomies is theseari- fice of quality to quanity more impolitic than in education; Theabsurdestofall alianrdities is that which imposes upon tjTtis a burden of books fur porterage to uud from school, far bet ter fitted for mus¬ cular tbau intellecUial development. Occasion has indeed been givou some¬ times for llie suspiciou tliat some fond paronla—foud alike of their offspring anil their pence—have takeu from the circular or catalogue of the institution to which their children are consigned, the maximum of science that ia offered therein fora giveu sum,aud have de¬ manded tbis amount in lull nnd on sight. In other words, all that is taught ani/ one's son or daughter for the rates X.am paying, muat be taught mine.
It will do very well to laugh at sueh stupidity aud pity such ignorance, but it may someltime happen that those wlio get theuce the ruoat matter of merriment are the very ones who act upon thesame principle in auother o:' its forms.

The periodicity of brain symp¬ toms ia disease was recognized a-* long as wlien the terms for lunacy were so framed as to suggest the ideaof a meas¬ ure cf time.

Tltere are, ludeed, those to whom, in judging ofa teacher's labors, geography ia geography, ami arithmetic is arilhmelie, as uniform as. the coins that drop from the miut. But it tloes not tuke rauch intelligence to see that a fresh, vigorous mint! can give more priijectiip furce to truth than one that h.is lost all ils spring. In tbe light ofthis fact, It would be well for those who are interesled in what we are accustomed so awkwardly lo call t'ez malo education, to ascertain what, upon all pripciples ofre.isonlug, may be aujiposed to be the amouut of vigor choracteriziiiglhetxercises of auy oue of the luodeiu boarding;schoola for young ladies wilhlu the rauge of their observation.

COMETS AlfD THSIB T4IIS.
Professor Zollner, a foreign savant, in a recent discussion of the erratic boiiies, starts with tbe fact tbatfluids, as water, mercury, and solids of nearly all kinds, give off vapor of low tension, though in too small a quantity to be recognized by any tests with which we are at present acquainted. It therefore fol¬ lows that the masses of matter scattered throughout space are ultimately sur¬ rounded with an atmosphere of their owu vapor. If the volume of such masses is too small lo exert sufllcient atiractive force to retain this vapor, the whoie mass ultimately assumes the vaporous state. ProfessorZollner thinks that many of the small comets are such masses of vapor, while others are fluid, consisting of water or perhaps of liquid hydrocarloa,=',an idea which is forf.i td by the cbaracler of the spectra of cer¬ tain nebulis as well as some of the smaller comets.
Eegardliig the self luminosity of co.iielsandthetormallou of their trains, Professor Zollner says, there are about two causes wiiich can produce the" first of these resulls, viz: elevation of tem¬ perature and the electric aciion. Set- tiug the first aside as oeing utterly inadequate nnder the circumstances, tbe author tliinks that the electricity developed by the solar rays, either in tho proceea of evaporation or by the mechanical and molecular disturbances they produce, is amply sufficient to cause the luminoaity and also loform the train. The explanation here given oftbe formation ofthe tails or trains of comets is exceedingly ingenious, for it uot only supplies in thosa instances in which the train is direcled from the sun, acting under the circumstances by repulsion, but It aiso accounts for tbe facts that in some instances the call is directed toward the sun, there being tinder Ihssecircumstanceseleetricftl at traction instead of repulsion.

Tbe extent to which the manufac¬ ture of music boxes ia carried oa n Genava, Switzerland, says a late letter, is a matter pf surprise to Americans, and the magnificence of some of the instruments turned out exceeds any¬ thing that most persons have any idea. of. The writer was shown an instru¬ ment that played thirty-six tunes, with Sute, bell drum and Castanet accom¬ paniments. The cost of It complete was seven thousand francs, or about $1,400, the purcbaser to bave the privilege, of naming twelve airs to be arranged on tw'o'of the cylin¬ ders that was blank. The instru¬ ments range In price from five francs to seven tbousand. The high-priced ones are In elegant rosewood cases, but must of them-.are snrpirisingly loreavhen.we consider the prices at which'the smaller boxes are sold in the United States. There is a duty, however, of thirty per cent., wliich accounts in some measure for the cost. A box playing eight tunes, wilh the accompaniment nf hells, castanets and drum, cau be had for two hundred and fifty francs, and with the flute aeeompauiment aiso for four hundred" franca. The price rises with the size of the cylinder and tho finish of the cases. There are musical chairs, which play when you sit down upou them, musical decanters, which strike up a merry air, such as "The Flowing Bowl," when you pour anything out of them, musi¬ cal snuff boxes, musical flower-pots, and musical toys of ail descriptions, The twelve hundred dollar instrument had volume of sound supiicieut for a churcb, and would occupy as much space In a parlor as an ordinary piano, though ic might be taken for an oltl style sideboard.
Fuet Not.—" The horse that frets is the horse that sweats," is an oid saying of horsemen, and is just as true of men as of horses. The man that allows himself to get irritated at every little thing tiiat goes amiss in his business, or In the ordinary aflairs of life, is a man that, as a rule, wiil accomplish little and wear out early. He is a man for whom bile and dyspepsia have a particular fondness, and for whom children bave a particular averaion. He is a man with a perpetual thorn in his flesh, whicii pricks and wounils at the slightest movement, a mau fur whom life has litlle pleasure and the future small hope.
AVe have another Texas cattle sensa- tioii ou hand at the same time of year, and in thesame locality, xytiere, three years ago, the consumers of milk ivere alarmed at lhe ioss of scores of cows on tbe Colerain pike, beyond Cumminsr ville.
The present reappearance of this fa¬ tal malatly are in the dairies of G. W, i'allaut and J. West, contiguous to each oilier on tbe Colerain pike, about two miles beyond Cumminsville. A lot of Texaa or Cherokee oattle were pastured on Mr. West's plaoe. Last week thirteen of Mr. AVest's cattle died, this week the remainder of his stock of iwenty-uine took ill and have also died. The mat¬ ter coming to the knowledge of the Cily Milk Inspector, and tbe Inspector of Meat and Cattle, they repaired to the place and found all ofMr. West's cattle ill, twenty-foyr in immber, and all exhibiting symptoms of tho splenic fever—the drying up of tbe milk, the dull, stupid look of the animal, the glassy eye and drooping head, ami the hide covered with Texas oattle ticks. Further inquiry discovered that a lot of poor, meager, bruised cattle had beon pastured on Mr. West's place, and also that large numbers ofthe Cherokee and Texas cattle were being sent here from St. Louis and Chicago.

Oue of our citizens ia bleased, or otberwise, wilh a very slubboru wife. In his case he finds that wheu a womau will sho will, you may depend on't, and when she won't she won't and that's an end on't. This peculiarity of disposition iu bis wife is no secret among his associates, aud onenf them meeting him the other day, asked :
"Well ,do you kuow why you aro

"Like a donkey!' echoed W ,
opening his eyes wide, "No, Idou'l."
"Do you give it np? '
"I do."
"Because your betler half ia stnb- bornness itself."
"That's not bad. Ha! ha! I'llgive that to my wife when I go home."
" Mrs. W ," he asked, as he sat
down to supper, "do you know why 1 am like a donkey ?."
He wailed a moment, expecting his wife to give it up, but she didn't; she looketl at him somewhat commlsera- tingly as she answered:
"I suppose it's beqauae yqu were bornsp."
